Aotrs Shipyards is a webstore on Shapeways.com, a 3D print house which had production and shipping facilities located in the USA and the the Netherlands.

This month, we have the Mark 5 Centurion – two variants (at 144 (10-12mm) as per usual). The first one is with no side skirts and two tracks on the glacis:

And the second is with skirts and a stowage box replacing one of the tracks on the glacis. (The version that was in both of photo walkarounds I used.)

Turret moved so you can see some of the hull detail, which has come out rather well on this print!

Photos are of the Relicator 2 prototypes, as per usual.


In the pipeline for release in the next few months are the IDF Centurions, the Sho't Meteor (fundementally a Mark 5 with a different headlight set-up) and the more advanced Sho't Kal Alef (which has a different engine module), and Mark 5/1 Centurion (RAAF version) and the Mark 5/2 Centurion (and its Dutch variant with the additional spotlight).

As the differences between the Mark 3 and Mark 5 centurion are pretty minimal (the arrange ment of the hatches on the turret is about it), if there is interest, I may well release Mark 3 variants of the above in due course.

The Cheiftain (Mark 3 and Mark 5) is on the way, and after that the M60A1 (both on commission). The BTR-60 is further down the line (having done much of the work for the scifi version).

The precise order of what comes out is not fixed (and may change with interest or other stuff I do in the mean time) – I figured I ought to note all the upcoming Centurion variants, though, in case anyone is lookin for something in particular!
